    Aquesta tesi està inspirada en els agents naturals per tal de planificar de manera dinàmica la navegació d'un robot diferencial de dues rodes. Les dades dels sistemes de percepció són integrades dins una graella d'ocupació ...

    Methods for remote stock monitoring using depth sensors 

    Vila Clarà, Oriol (Date of defense: 2024-01-29)

    RGB-D cameras return images like an ordinary camera but in addition to color, depthmaps where each pixel value represents the distance to a point of the scene are also obtained. Although originally conceived for gaming and ...

    Modal interval based package for robust control 

    Ferrer Mallorquí, Inès (Date of defense: 2016-06-17)

    Complex systems are often subjected to uncertainties that make its model difficult, if not impossible to obtain. A quantitative model may be inadequate to represent the behavior of systems which require an explicit re ...

    Multi-layer survivability: routing schemes for GMPLS-based networks 

    Urra i Fàbregas, Anna (Date of defense: 2006-12-18)

    En les xarxes IP/MPLS sobre WDM on es transporta gran quantitat d'informacio, la capacitat de garantir que el trafic arriba al node de desti ha esdevingut un problema important, ja que la fallada d'un element de la xarxa ...

    Multivariate statistical modelling and monitoring of smart buildings 

    Burgas Nadal, Llorenç (Date of defense: 2019-11-22)

    In order to reduce mismatches between real and expected consumption, this thesis explores the use of PCA (Principal Component Analysis) as a modelling tool for buildings. PCA is a statistical technique that allows complex ...

    Novel methods for the efficacy and safety in the artificial pancreas intended for domiciliary use 

    Ramkissoon, Charrise Mary (Date of defense: 2019-03-07)

    Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that targets the insulin producing β-cells in the pancreas that results in chronically elevated blood glucose (BG) levels and requires lifelong insulin-replacement therapy. ...
